BehindTheMedspeak: The Body Botox
Above, a superb graphic that accompanied Natasha Singer's informative and educational (certainly to this anesthesiologist) April 11, 2009 New York Times Science section article about how Botox — like bad girls — pretty much now goes everywhere.

I can honestly say I've never seen an aSSymmetrical buttocks before, not up close & personal and not far away and observational. I still don't grasp the role of Botox; surely when one cheek outstrips the other, it's a simple enough matter to liposuck some fat out of the overly generous portion and inject into the side that's found wanting. Or simply siphon off the big side and leave it at that. Even-steven! Whither Botox? Unless one cheek sagged, one was perky, and due to diverse constraints, surgically perky-izing the sagger was not an option, then, perhaps, paralyzing the upstart could restore harmony. That must be it.

"I'm curious about how it affects "buttock deformity."
I briefly...and will repeat...briefly...dated a woman with butt cheeks of obvious different sizes. It was HORRIFYING...I'm not a superficial man by choice or reason, but I *HAS* to have uniformity in the booty. I know I'm not perfect myself...close, but not quite. I don't expect it in others...in fact, I appreciate and embrace uniqueness in folks. I tried hard to keep an ex from getting plastic surgery to remove scars from a crash...it fit with her former supermodel current arch villainess look. It enhanced her scowl far more than it did before.
I try to stay far far far away from encouraging others to enhance their looks, but in the case of the ass...I'm sorry...botox the hell out of it and make it right. Seriously...

I'm curious about how it affects "buttock deformity." I'd think that most people's complaints about their buttocks would involve over-largeness and/or flabbiness and saggyness. Looks like if you injected it (them?) with something that would paralyze it (isn't that what Botox does? I confess, I didn't read the article), you'd only aggravate a low-slung profile. Unless the "deformity" was some ailment that caused the buttocks to defy gravity... Honestly, it's difficult to conceive of a medical condition that would produce an overly perky booty to the point that it required taming with Botox to look good.

It is indeed a superb graphic.
I too would have my little graphic feet flexed to the heavens if I had testicular pain and a downturned mouth.
